dawson · Answer

Yes. That's what I did.

No, you'll need studs. But this mount only requires the use of 1 stud.

Eric · Answer

This is tough to answer without knowing the size and weight of the TV you plan to mount. The bigger the TV, the more lateral force is placed on a structure that isn't particularly designed to bear weight off of it. It will come down to using quality drywall mounting hardware...I would got to Lowes and pick up a pack of Toggler brand anchors (avoid the self-drilling anchors).

I would not recommend mounting on hollow drywall. For safety, you should mount to studs.

I used drywall anchors.

You can, but I wouldn't. Depending on the weight of the tv, it'll fall right off the wall leaving holes in the sheetrock and probably broken tv. Safer to find a stud and attach there.

I wouldn't recommend it, but you could with some serious drywall anchors. Get at least 100lb anchors to be safe.
